hearts were exploding around us as we drifted south down the bay. the gray up above and gray down below left us with nothing to say. so we drifted along in silence till the tickle of life trickled in. and the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand
we were catching fire again. oh boatman
i am the river
i am the mountain and the sea. oh boatman
taker and giver
can you deliver me? i would forever run free. yeah
we finally caught up with legends
we were walking along side by side. we worked out a plan to go out hand in hand
the long trail just wasn't that wide. the water around us was freezing
we just laughed and threw ourselves in. and although we were old
the sting of that cold pumped up the feeling
here it is again. oh boatman
i am the river
i am the mountain and the sea. oh boatman
taker and giver
can you deliver me? i would forever run free. oh
i'm a message in a bottle drifting along on a deep blue sea. waiting for some foreign shore
ready for something to be. no longer afraid of falling
we cut the strings to the sky. we found lever ground and we put ourselves down
amazing we all didn't die. we took each moment as given
by second they came. the ice and the sun and the thundering guns
